Page 2 of 3 Attachment B is a compilation of Public Works organizational charts from surrounding cities relatable in population size. Certain elements from these were used in developing the proposed org chart for Arden Hills to fit the City’s needs. Primary duties of the Parks and Recreation Manager: • Parks capital project planning, budgeting and implementation • Natural Resources management • Forestry • Manages Parks maintenance policies • Rain gardens • Volunteer Coordination • Grant management • PTRC staff liaison • Manages Recreation program and staff • Parks development • Maintain relationships and coordinates with surrounding agencies Primary duties of the Maintenance Lead: • Lead the day-to-day activities • Plan work within their division from week-to-week • Implement division tasks outlined in the Public Works Maintenance Plan • Quality control • Assists in the preparation of the Public Works Maintenance Plan The Maintenance Lead position will allow for more detailed maintenance/repair information to be prepared for each division to put us in a “proactive” maintenance state and get us away from being “reactive”. To manage labor force needs, the Maintenance Leads, PW Superintendent, Assistant PW Director, Public Works Director/City Engineer and Parks and Recreation Manager will all meet weekly to discuss scheduling and determine what labor force is needed to accomplish activities outlined in the Public Works Maintenance Plan (Attachment C) and other project or City function coordination needs. All Maintenance Workers and all Maintenance Leads are still required to be cross-trained and supplement labor needs in all divisions. At this time, there are no proposed changes to the existing Fleet Lead position as it is written within the MOU through the union contract. For the consultant services, the Public Works Director/City Engineer is recommending the City select a primary consultant to provide engineering and specialty services. The advantage of a primary consultant is the availability of a deep bench with a broad depth of specialized personnel in various categories related to City functions. This direct resource would be more efficient instead of having City staff manage multiple consultants if they need to coordinate on related projects. It is intended that the PW Director/City Engineer would be the direct manager of the consultant but services would be available to other City Departments as well.
